Monday

Trying to edit the draft of three chapters for packet deadline. ... I guess it is normal, but still disturbing that one day the writing makes sense, the next it feels like idiocy and once in a while, it seems almost important.. and then redundant.... ugh. I subbed all day today for two photo classes. I was so engrossed in the American Masters piece on Curtis that I didn't notice the kids sneaking out. He really was single minded in the extreme. I have been obsessive, but lately I feel more burnt out. My design class completed a small but significant step generating some linear designs. I asked them to finish the three steps in one 2.5 hour class to see if they could just move through the process. For the very first time all of the students completed the worksheets and did a fabulous job on the designs. Some need to be cleaned up a bit, but since it was a deadline piece, I wanted to see if they could get it done! Really amazing. This week we begin shapes.
